In the first decade of the 21st century, the British newspaper News of the World, owned by Rupert Murdoch, and its sister publications were involved in a controversy. The employees of these newspapers were accused of phone hacking, police bribery and other improper influences. This controversy came to be known as the News International phone-hacking scandal. As a result, the British press became the focus of a heated debate. This led to a press reform debate which focused on issues such as the impact of media ownership on the standards of the press. It also discussed the effect this could have on the ability of the press to accomplish its goal in a democracy. This book covers some of the key issues including press freedom, public interest, privacy, press regulation and media ownership. It focuses on how the British media covered the issue and the reforms that followed. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics on this issue.
